*NEW JOINT ALERT* Just in time to shake those early Canadian winter blues (which I know nothing about down here in New Zealand… wish you were here…), here is a dope  joint from my mans 4th Pyramid and Cosmo Baker aka The Sheen Brothers, along with one of the hypest people on the face of the planet, the legendary Greg Nice. A good combination. I downloaded this yesterday and played it a bunch of times and thought it was worth sharing. Check it out for yourself! You can catch a remix that Cosmo and I did over here: Limb By Tung. Stay tuned for 4th P’s new album coming out in 2011 some time before DETOX.

Now, check out the final product, created from two copies of Parliament’s P-Funk classic “Flashlight” (12″), one copy of Pink Floyd’s ubiquitous “Another Brick In The Wall” (7″), some stickers, two needles, two turntables & a mixer. This routine was featured on my “Get Up!” mix, available in The Store. Pass it along, and see you on the road!

…and the making of the routine:

UPDATE: Bootsy likes it!

I had a great weekend down in Texas opening some shows for my friend comedian Russell Peters on his “Green Card” tour. Austin, Houston & Dallas got a good dose of Canada’s exports. He killed it! I also played a show with Rapid Ric & Michael ’5000′ Watts in Austin. Here are some pictures:

…and for anyone unfamiliar with Russell’s work, here’s one of his classic skits.
